The institute focus on the development of the LED lamp is suitable for plant growth

Recently, ITRI call EPISTAR, Everlight, Hefei, Pingtung University of science and technology, National Taiwan University, more than 20 research groups, a total of more than 87 members, the establishment of the first "Taiwan plant factory Industry Development Association, Taiwan open into the development of first River plant factory.

Plant factory concept originated from Europe greenhouse agriculture, refers to the environment can be controlled, and in accordance with the plan, allowing year-round production plant places there are Japan, the United States, Holland and other countries began to develop.

The Institute will be interdisciplinary integration way, the professional and technical units linked to plant plant, to create the most suitable environment for plant growth, as is common for unit plant characteristics, suitable for the development of the LED lamp plant growth, and improved light, light source.

Taiwan plant factory industry development association chairman cum ITRI material institute director Su Zongcan said, Taiwan's existing greenhouse engineering technology, facing plant growth monitoring, unit volume production, control, energy saving, perinatal diseases and Pests Automatic Detection and disaster prevention and other technical problems in the development of plant plant on the occasion, these problems must also be included, in order to effectively to solve.

Liu Jiaming, chairman of the Preparatory Committee of the association pointed out that the plant plant can produce crops in a stable manner, more low energy consumption, high production efficiency, reduce labor characteristics. The future in the face of the pressure of food shortages, plant factory market demand will be increasing. At the same time, the plant factory will adopt a large number of LED lighting, EPISTAR, Everlight, CSUN, Taiwan and Guangyun fertilizer manufacturers, will simultaneously benefit from.
